We discuss the contents of the playtest packet so you can be ready to see what's going to be headed your way and discuss some design elements of the game as well, enthusiastically!   RoleplayingTips Combat Descriptors Roleplayingtips.com has a free PDF up on their website full of ready to used canned flavor text for combat interactions during your games. Melee, spells, ranged, hits, misses, you name it, it's in here. Andy and I discuss how useful stuff like this is and suggest a tweak or two to the overall setup.   Tip Corner The campaign search feature, use it to look through a single campaign for that time when the fighter lost his sword inside the gelatinous cube! It beats picking through adventure logs one at a time!   Twitter Question @AlanHStewart asks: Premade modules, pros and cons? Listen to find out!
